49ers coach jokes about what Christian McCaffrey was thinking when he married Olivia Culpo: 'No offense'

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has joked that football-'obsessed' Christian McCaffrey was distracted by thoughts of his sport as he walked down the aisle to marry his wife Olivia Culpo.

The couple got married in June as they welcomed family and friends to watch them tie the knot in Rhode Island.

But Shanahan believes his running back McCaffrey, who is currently dealing with a calf strain, was thinking about football even on his special day. 

'When you take every rep, every walkthrough, everything you need to do, you're just so deliberate in everything,' he began to reporters earlier this week.

'When he's walking down the aisle to get married, he's probably thinking about his feet and how to do routes,' he continued. 'No offense to Olivia.'

Shanahan gave the answer after being asked how McCaffrey - who is currently not practicing - would get healthy in time for Week 1 looking like himself.

'He's obsessed with it,' Shanahan said. 'And so when you do get in these situations where you do get hurt and you can't go do all that stuff, at least he's put the work in before. So that stuff does come back fast. 

'But he understands what it takes to play in this game, especially at the level he does. And not many people play at that level unless they are like that.'

After he and Culpo said 'I do' to each other in front of teammates including George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Kyle Juszczyk, McCaffrey will be hoping to have another strong year for the 49ers.

McCaffrey had a tremendous 2023 season as he was named a first-team All-Pro at RB

In his first full season in San Francisco after a 2022 trade from the Carolina Panthers, McCaffrey excelled as he led the league with 1,459 rushing yards.

He added 67 catches for 564 receiving yards and finished the regular season with 21 total touchdowns.

His 49ers ultimately fell 25-22 to the Chiefs in a nail-biting Super Bowl LVIII.

McCaffrey has a little over two weeks to recover from his calf issue, as the 49ers open the season vs. the Jets on September 9.
